Abstract:
A system includes a valve assembly configured to be disposed within a downhole tool module, a valve of the valve assembly configured to regulate flow of a fluid within the downhole tool module, a pump configured to supply a hydraulic fluid to actuate the valve, and an actuator configured to drive the pump.
Abstract:
A drilling system includes a first section of a drilling tool having a collar configured to hold internal components of the first section. The drilling system also includes a second section of the drilling tool configured to be coupled with the first section in a specific orientation relative to the first section. The second section is interchangeable with at least one different section.
Abstract:
Detecting a failure mode of a fluid flow controller configured to control fluid flow between first and second chambers of a downhole positive displacement pump and a flow line, wherein the positive displacement pump comprises a piston moving in an axial reciprocating motion, and subsequently adjusting operation of the downhole positive displacement pump based on the detected failure mode such that the downhole positive displacement pump piston operates differently in different axial directions.

Abstract:
A system for oil and gas production includes a drilling, pipeline, or power quality device, a sensor, and a storage device. The storage device has instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include receiving first data from the sensor. The operations include determining whether the device is experiencing an event condition based on the first data The operations include generating one or more potential corrective actions responsive to a determination that the device is experiencing the event condition. The operations include calculating a reward value for each of the one or more potential corrective actions. The operations include identifying a first corrective action of the one or more potential corrective actions with a largest or most positive reward value The operations include controlling the device according to the first corrective action.

Abstract:
A system includes a valve subassembly configured to be disposed along an internal flowline exit of a first internal flowline within a downhole drilling module. The valve subassembly includes an active valve configured to regulate flow of a fluid through the internal flowline exit and a passive valve configured to be passively controlled based on a differential pressure between a first volume of the downhole drilling module and a second volume surrounding the downhole drilling module.

Abstract:
A downhole modular tool includes a first module, a second module, a third module, and one or more connectors for connecting the first, second, and third modules. Each module includes a drill collar, a drilling fluid passageway, a first fluid passageway, and a second fluid passageway. The one or more connectors connect any one of the first, second, and third modules, to another of the first, second, and third modules to transfer the drilling fluid, the first fluid, and the second fluid between the connected modules.
